BUILT FOR LIVE

Live commerce is a product, a camera, clean audio and an audience that sticks around. I’ve spent years on each one, and I stay calm when it’s live. I pick up new streaming tools fast.

CAM

Cameras & lighting

Camera operation, lighting and directing for reviews, demos, travel and brand spots. I’m comfortable framing a product and keeping it looking good on camera.

Live sound & show flow

I ran all the live sound and recording for King Sol & the Vibes from 2015 to 2021, setting up gear, troubleshooting on the fly and keeping the show moving. I’ve also run my own studio since 2010.

ON

Product & talent

I host product reviews and UGC demos on camera, covering luggage, gear and EVs. I’m good with on-camera talent and keep them comfortable so they can focus on the audience.

SOC

Chat & community

I publish on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram and handle the comments and community side myself. I also shoot short-form clips around the main content.
